Jamie Harris & Kevin Phillip, Black Drexel University Basketball Players Wanted on a Litany of Charges Including Robbery

Jamie Harris & Kevin Phillip, two black Drexel University basketball players, now fugitives, face a litany of charges including robbery.

Jamie Harris and Kevin Phillip, two Drexel University basketball players are wanted for robbery. According to the Daily News, the two cohorts stormed into a female Drexel student's apartment Wednesday night brandishing guns, expecting to score a big stash of cash, the police said. One problem. The woman had no money, so Harris and Phillip, who are black, grabbed her iPhone instead and ran, the police said. Thankfully, there is a video tape of their getaway.

Both men are now fugitives and wanted on a litany of charges including robbery, theft and conspiracy, Lt. John Walker of Southwest Detectives said, according to the Daily News. Both men are considered armed and dangerous.

Even though a person is innocent until proven guilty, the video tape may seal their doom. What I find incredulous is that these two young men have a chance to create a good life for themselves through education and hard work, but somehow they thought they could rob this woman and get away with it. Now one has to wonder, how many times have they done this before?

UPDATE#1 (7:07 p.m. EST): Jamie Harris & Kevin Phillip, who are on a full scholarship at Drexel have surrendered. A third person, Devon Bond, who played a role in the planning of this hair-brain robbery, has also surrendered. These two young men will most definitely lose their scholarships and they may even be expelled from the university, as they should, if they are found guilty by a jury.
